GOD BLESS THE NORTHEAST WEATHER - POEM

GOD BLESS THE NORTHEAST WEATHER

                    Nature

                    at its best

                    is delightful.

                    At its worst,

                    frightful.

                    And when the elixir is all wrong;

                    a dabble strong,

                    a dollop weak

                    the prognosis

                    is often bleak.

                    60 degrees in January

                    February thaw

                    March showers

                    April mud

                    heat wave in May

                    cold June, July

                    colder August

                    glorious September

                    snowy October

                    icy November

                    green December.

APRIL SNOW (poem)

 

APRIL SNOW

 

The night

is a clone of January.

The morning

is sweet and golden

as an April sun.

Snow-droppings fall

from icelandic trees.

A lone mallard

floats downstream.
